45:7God sent me8 ahead of you to preserve you9 on the earth and to save your lives10 by a great deliverance. 45:8So now, it is not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me an adviser11 to Pharaoh, lord over all his household, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Footnotes
- 8 God sent me. The repetition of this theme that God sent Joseph is reminiscent of commission narratives in which the leader could announce that God sent him (e.g., Exod 3:15).
- 9 Heb “to make you a remnant.” The verb, followed here by the preposition לְ (lé), means “to make.”
- 10 The infinitive gives a second purpose for God’s action.
- 11 Heb “a father.” The term is used here figuratively of one who gives advice, as a father would to his children.
